American Brew A neat place I visited where I composed this song.

Give Me Coffee Or Give Me Death Copyright Albert Keith 2025

Good Coffee is the cure on the path to righteousness
A small latte made with flowers atop the white cup crest
Cinnamon on the bar top, Blueberry muffins are so fresh
Where the shots took me to hell last night, the whiskey is the best

	
I looked up from the counter at the bottles on the bar
The label said Tarnished truth, It didn’t seem so far
Johnny Walker on the shelf, Bourbon Cream to Baileys ears
Bailey says why not, The Whistling Pig is here

American Brew, Give me coffee or give me death 
Where the the steam rises and my heartache starts to rest
American Brew, Give me coffee or give me death	


If  my soul dwells in Larceny, turn it off, I’ve had enough			
American Brew, Give me coffee, Or Give Me death
last night was really tough, turn it off I am a mess		
American Brew, Give me coffee, Or Give Me death
			
Bailey’s drink still on my breath, Yes I kissed the whistling pig
Just a minute, tarnished truth passed me on my street, 
Jameson, Lady Liberty,  Whiskey Rebellion,all the rest
American Honey, walk of shame, bitch slapped me in my chest

If my soul dwells in Larceny, turn it off, I’ve had enough			
American Brew, Give me coffee, Or Give Me death
last night was really tough, turn it off I am a mess
Where  the steam rises, my heartache starts to rest

					
Across the bridge to heaven to be near American Brew			
just a drop of latte, and  I’ll feel special too
just a drop of latte, and  I’ll feel special too

American Brew- Give Me Coffee Or Give Me Death

I wrote this song to express how I feel about the state of leadership in America today. I think we can better results by holding each other and political leaders accountable for results without the drama and treat each other with respect. TEAM concept. My thanks to David Robinson for providing his musical skills and creative guidance to the creation of the song.
